hexamita or spironucleus is what i was treating for,it says they are protozoans so maybe i could try a dewormer along with metro if i have a problem with the new puffers. I cut one that died open and didnt see worms (sorry for being graphic) i guess that dont mean there not there though

Lots of folks here have done necropsies/autopsies.

But like I said, don't take my word for it.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

A lot of folks locally use API General Cure for anything relating to IP's.

It contains 250mg Metronidazole and 75mg Praziquantel per packet. Prazi is what kills soft bodied worms, although Metro acts against all protozoans and i have heard that it also has limited action against certain species of worms.

I would suggest following the directions on the packet: using it internally could cause kidney damage.
